Mission & Vision
SocialPulse enables individuals, businesses, students and organizations to
capture, filter, edit and enhance their information scattered across the
Page 2 of 5 Copyright TechCrunch, 2010. Designed and developed by Producteev
internet and use it to promote their brand, business or reputation on major
social networks.
Small businesses do not have the knowledge or tools to easily promote their
existing web pages and product offers on various social networks.
SocialPulse can help them do that easily.
We help individuals (and students) to document their community (social)
service activities and event (meetings, seminars) agenda as permanent
records which add to their reputation. They can create (or join) profiles
about any topic, (books, movies, current events, people) and post their
reviews and comments to add to their wisdom and social capital.
We have created a unique platform combining the features of Facebook,
Twitter and Wikipedia to create individual and crowd-wisdom using our peer
to peer social network giving more value to our members.
There are no easy tools to capture your content from search engines, social
networks, image galleries, video sites, twitter, news sites, blog sites,
comments and reviews sites. SocialPulse can do that.
